The Impact of Cryptocurrency on the 2024 US Presidential Election

1 min. read

Cryptocurrency's role in the 2024 United States presidential election may not be as divisive as previously thought. Research by Coinbase reveals that an equal number of voters under 35 in swing states identify as Democrats or Republicans, with 41% and 39% respectively. This data, collected by Impact Research in July, highlights the potential influence of young voters in battleground states. While young voter turnout played a significant role in the 2020 elections, midterm elections saw a decrease in participation among this demographic. Both political parties are urged to engage with the growing pro-crypto constituency to secure victory in 2024. Despite differing views on Bitcoin, both Republican nominee Donald Trump and Democratic nominee Kamala Harris have yet to address digital assets in their campaigns. As the election approaches, polls show a close race between the two candidates, emphasizing the importance of engaging with the crypto community.

The Constitutional Solution to U.S. Debt Crisis

Monday. January 20 at 7:00 AM

The U.S. faces a looming debt crisis, with potential solutions rooted in constitutional principles. The debt limit, which was suspended until 2025, poses a challenge for the government to meet its financial obligations. The 14th Amendment's Public Debt Clause mandates honoring the national debt, preventing a partisan default. Billionaire Elon Musk and former President Trump advocate for Bitcoin as a solution to the escalating debt issue. Trump proposed establishing a U.S. Bitcoin Reserve to address the $36 trillion national debt. Sen. Cynthia Lummis introduced the BITCOIN Act to purchase bitcoins to reduce the debt. The U.S. could potentially cover its debt by investing in Bitcoin, securing its position as a global superpower. However, caution is advised in cryptocurrency investments, as they carry high risks. The evolving landscape of crypto and government involvement underscores the need for careful consideration and due diligence in financial decisions.

Ethereum Price Analysis: Potential Decline Below $3000

Sunday. January 19 at 11:00 PM

Ethereum, a leading altcoin, has experienced a 2% price drop in the last 24 hours, contrary to the market trend. This decline is attributed to a decrease in demand for the coin, raising concerns of a possible drop below $3000. Analysis of Ethereum's momentum indicators on the ETH/USD one-day chart indicates a decrease in demand. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is currently below the neutral line at 42.61, signaling weakening momentum. Additionally, the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) is on the verge of dropping below zero, confirming the diminishing demand. With the current price at $3,175 and facing resistance at $3,249, Ethereum may see a further decline to $2,811 if buying pressure continues to weaken. However, improved market sentiment could push the price above $3,249. This analysis serves as informational content and not financial advice, urging readers to conduct their own research and seek professional guidance before making investment decisions.

The Future of Crypto Policies Under President Trump's Administration

Sunday. January 19 at 10:00 PM

US President-elect Trump is set to take office on Jan. 20, sparking anticipation among crypto industry leaders for favorable pro-crypto policies. However, the longevity of these policies beyond his term hinges on the political landscape in Washington, DC. Adam O’Brien, CEO of Bitcoin Well, believes that Trump's pro-crypto stance could endure if Vice President JD Vance succeeds him in 2029. Conversely, a Democratic takeover of Congress and the presidency could jeopardize these policies, especially those established through executive orders. With Republicans holding a slim majority in the House of Representatives, the upcoming 2026 midterm elections could potentially shift the balance of power. Despite calls for bipartisan cooperation on crypto regulations, the future of crypto policies remains uncertain under the Trump administration. Industry experts suggest that political representatives are increasingly inclined to support the crypto sector following the 2024 elections, driven by industry advocacy efforts.
